Pregnancy Chiropractic Care - Minneapolis

Chiropractic for pregnant women. Less back pain, smoother deliveries.

Being a father of 3 little girls Dr Kevin Schreifels our Minneapolis chiropractor not only has the training in adjusting pregnant women but had more than his share of adjusting his wife.

During pregnancy, a woman's center of gravity shifts forward to the front of her pelvis. This additional weight in front, causes stress to the joints of the pelvis and low back. As the baby grows in size, the added weight causes the curvature of her lower back to increase, placing extra stress on the fragile facet joints on the back side of the spine. Any pre-existing problems in a woman's spine tend to be exacerbated as the spine and pelvis become overtaxed, often leading to pain and difficulty performing normal daily activities.

Studies have found that about half of all expectant mothers develop lower back pain at some point during their pregnancies. This is especially true during the third trimester when the baby's body gains the most weight. Chiropractic care at Lyn Lake chiropractic throughout your pregnancy can relieve and even prevent the pain and discomfort frequently experienced in pregnancy, and creates an environment for an easier, safer delivery.

It is one safe and effective way to help the spine and pelvis cope with the rapid increase in physical stress by restoring a state of balance. In fact, most women have found that chiropractic care helped them avoid the use of pain medications during their pregnancy, and studies have shown that chiropractic adjustments help to reduce time in labor. Lyn Lake Chiropractic should be your partner for a healthy pregnancy. We can provide adjustments, massage as well as offer nutritional, ergonomic and exercise advice.

Chiropractic for pregnant women:

Be sure to get adjusted regularly. Chiropractic care is important to help maintain a healthy skeletal structure and nervous system function throughout a pregnancy and childbirth.

Lyn Lake Chiropractic has a drop down table that allows pregnant women to lay on their stomach and get a massage by one of their Certified Massage Therapists before a very controlled, light adjustment by our Minneapolis chiropractors.
